Hello everyone! Hope you had a great memorial weekend! Here is a Design Team project I made for my Local Scrapbook Store.

I used a 12 inch metal star and the new WeR Memory Keepers Yankee Doodle paper line! I love the bright patriotic red, white and blue colors! I made a template to cover the star.

I used random papers from the 6×6 paper pad. This size worked great for covering the star. I did use Modge Podge to adhere the paper to the star.

To create the sign at the bottom I adhered the word family to the design paper. I added some strips of fun ribbon to the bottom of the sign and attached a scallop circle at the end of each piece of ribbon. I cut out my photos with a circle punch and layered them on to the scallop circle. I added some dimension with some pop dots.

You can use sticky strip to adhere the sign to the metal star or you can do as I did and attach small magnets to each corner of the sign. This way you can change out the sign for different occasions.

Hey everyone, just want to share another video of a paper bag mini album I made for a friends’ daughter who is graduating this year. Her school colors are Red and White. I got the idea for the paper bag mini album from a tutorial by Steffogal1.

It’s that time of year. Graduation! Just wanted to share a couple of graduation cards I made. I used the Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge to cut the graduation cap and the inside sentiment. I used the Lady Couture paper from DCWV for the red tasseled card and the Tattered Time paper also from DCWV for the green tasseled card. The tassels coordinate with the school colors. The cards are 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.

Hello everyone, just wanted to share a video of a mini album I made for a swap over at Life on the {Scrap}beach. The theme was Shabby Chic Garden and we were to make the mini album out of coffee sleeves. I really hope my swap partner likes it.

Hey everyone, I participated in a page swap over on the scrap beach. The swap was hosted by Elisa and the theme was Glitz and Glam. We were suppose to use lace, pearls, and bling on the pages, as well as the Tim Holtz Baroque Die and the Graphic 45 Curtain Call paper line. I was in group one.

I received my pages today and couldn’t wait to put the mini together. All of the pages were absolutely fabulous! Everyone did an awesome job.

Hey everyone, just want to share another video of a paper bag mini album I made using My Minds’s Eye Lil’ Robots Paper line. This paper is so cute. I added some metal embellishments to enhance the robot die cuts.
